NAT fails to be configured on the high-end LAN card

45

Q: NAT fails to be configured on high-end LAN cards.
A: ACL-based traffic policies cannot be configured on high-end LAN cards (8FE1GE and 24GE cards). Therefore, when the nat outbound command is run to associate an ACL with a NAT address pool, the configuration fails.

You can use the set workmode lan-card l3centralize command to disable the routing and forwarding function on high-end LAN cards and configure the AR to redirect the packets received on high-end LAN cards to the sub-core CPU for packet forwarding. In this case, the ACL-based traffic policy can be deployed and NAT can be configured on the high-end LAN card.

A DHCP server can allocate IP addresses to APs if the server supports Option 43. Any device can function as a DHCP server if APs can obtain their IP addresses and ACs' IP addresses from the device. Ensure that APs can ping the ACs' IP addresses.
